Ya ended up reaching out to a buddy, turns out the brakes were messed with before and never put back on properly as the previous owner had capped and cut the lines from leaks, but i rather have them fully functioning so cleaning up a messDid you figure it out? You had 7 mistakes. Brakes are more important than anything else, unless your on fire, then that's important. But if can't stop , your hosed. And then whoever or whatever stops you is screwed or dead. Don't take shortcuts with brakes.
Use the manual, take pictures , draw pictures, if your not sure , work smarter, not harder.
